Please download the application from the original post and not from a quote. We are not responsible if someone downloads from another quote via this forum or any other versions out there that might be posted or shared elsewhere.

1.1) Create an account via https://testnet.counterwallet.io
1.2) Open and run .jar file
1.3) Request testnet bitcoins and send to https://testnet.counterwallet.io address
1.4) Burn BTC for XCP and then "Create Asset (Token)
1.5) Send tokens to new Tilepay local wallet

The SPV implementation is for bitcoin at the moment. The "metacoin" spv implementation for XCP/MSC is being worked on by MIT. It is called VerSum.

2.) This is a reminder, when testing and implementation of software that deals with over 5000+ tokens that affect monetary value, due diligence/token holders must be the # 1 priority.

3.) Tilecoind protocol in progress.

4.) Demurrage fees will be applied to Tilecoin and other transactions that will reduce the total number of tokens. So, for example, right now there are 100,000,000, depending on what type of transaction is initiated via TilePay, a "burned" # of Tilecoin will be removed from the total number of Tilecoin available. This is not in this testnet version.

I am going to a funeral now and will be back later.

Wow, counterparty foundation

Quote
One Community Director will be elected by the Community Members, voting as a class during a two-week long voting period (via XCP-based proof of stake voting). Every Community Director candidate must hold at least 50 XCP.

excited to see xcp proof of stake voting for real

An interesting example of a project that facilitates taking snapshots of Bitcoin's distribution in anticipation of a potential future migration to a new blockchain - http://www.sidecoin.net/. Could be of interest to Counterparty if the need to migrate to a new blockchain arises.

Whitepaper: http://augur.link/sidecoin.pdf

Also Sidecoin is part of a larger project-  Augur (decentralized prediction market)

Quote
Appendix B: Smart Contracts
A decentralized prediction market can be constructed
in a relatively straightforward way using smart contracts,
such as Ethereum [20, 21]. Due to the recent release of
Serpent contracts on Counterparty, we are also testing
an alternative implementation of Augur using Serpent.
Counterparty’s announcement frees us to use Bitcoin as
the transactional currency on our platform, instead of
having to use Ethereum’s ether – this will also be remedied
on Ethereum itself when sidechains are released.
We think smart contracts may provide an alternative
method for implementing Augur. However, there are several
potential barriers related to security and scalability.
We are currently testing our contract implementation
and will update the whitepaper with our results.

To support the project and community I wanted to get some high quality artwork created and the first thing will be one or a few 3d renders around Counterparty. Do you have any ideas about what kind of imagery or objects would be good to see in this type of work? Like Bitcoin, it's a bit tricky since so many things Counterparty can do are digital, not tangible, and more process than object. Anyway, what are your thoughts?

Great idea. I would like to propose three interlinking themes - Nature, Engineering and Cybernetics. The Counterparty Protocol exhibits complex emergent behavior despite being a system with simple rules, and it has been meticulously designed and engineered with foresight and feedback.

Some specific ideas:

[1] Rock, Paper, Scissors performed with robotic hands (e.g. http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs42/f/2009/082/8/4/Cybernetic_Arm_by_Ragaru.jpg) or one robotic hand and one human hand. With the relevant Counterparty code being displayed on screen at the right time.
[2] Machine to Machine Trade on the DEx - e.g. a self driving car paying for parking. Again with the relevant Counterparty code displayed.

http://www.bitcoin2comparator.org/

It looks like that website needs to be updated. It is maintained by the Colored Coin guys. There are few incorrect Counterparty entries.

For example, the purpose of the comparison is between the asset related features of all 3 technologies.

Uses no intermediate currency: Counterparty doesn't use XCP for asset issuance
Protocol Specification Document: Yes, we have one. See here - https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/Counterparty
Send to multisig address: *Depends on what they mean here* can we send Counterparty assets to a Bitcoin address starting with '3'. I think so. And we have Multisig support now too.

Fell free to spot anything else I missed. It'd be nice to contact them once with a comprehensive list of updates to their list.


Is there any aspect of Colored Coins tech that could be incorporated into the Counterparty Protocol that would be of benefit? I know they are quite different technologies but since Counterparty is Bitcoin-Blockchain-aware it should be able to see the colored satoshis.



Can I get some input on this?
This is my comment to when they posted this on reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2nh9gp/comparing_bitcoin_20_platforms_counterparty_vs/cmdo9q9

As for integrating CC or Open Assets on Counterparty, it's obviously possible. The only benefit I can think of would be being able to do atomic swaps with altcoins. All of the other features of Counterparty are superior in robustness and power to what OA offers.

Thanks. Actually, you can do atomic swaps with altcoins using Counterparty Contracts (Smart Contracts).

multisig is almost ready, and Trezor should work today AFAIK
This was the reply from Adam in previous post. I am not sure whether Adam means we can already use Trezor address to send XCP already.

there needs to be a program and program manager to allow 3rd party applications like Trezor to test and "certify" against support of the protocol

Open questions to Counterparty:


have a BTC/XCP vending machine?

make a market of XCP on the DEX?

make the DEX visable to the public?

How about Trezor support?


I'll +1 this, I'd love that feature. If it's possible, I'd be willing to contribute some XCP to a pooled bounty to make it happen. If anyone is interested PM me.

Of course maybe the devs are working on it already. Wink

It is definitely possible. See here - https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterwallet/issues/2. Another Counterparty Wallet that supported the following - https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterwallet/issues/604 - might lend itself to Trezor support more easily.
